#Singapore Jumping on the CC cream bandwagon: First BB, now CC. What guys and gals need to know about colour/c...

But what about the men? In the days when BB creams were all the rage, brands such as Laneige Homme, Skin79 and Dr. Brandt also doled out their male versions to mixed reviews. While lauded as the purveyor of barely-there make-up, some men noted its limited shades and unattractive residue on the face as major flaws. When pitted against each other, the BB cream appears to be the poor man’s version of the CC cream. Not only is the latter of a thinner and lighter consistency – so much so that you can still hold on to your last shreds of manhood – its coverage adopts a less superficial approach. For guys, this means masking late nights and lazy skin habits, by making sure that those dark circles, blemishes and sun spots don’t resurface and scare the general public away.
